Awakening Wonder: Wisdom of C.S. Lewis for Today

This book is written for those who haven't yet discovered the brilliance, humor, humility, and awe-filled writings of C.S. Lewis. Maybe one who has read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but no other Narnia books. Or half of Mere Christianity and got side-tracked. Or has heard their pastor quote Lewis time and again and wonders "why?" Or thought: "what is the big deal about C.S. Lewis?" The author highlights the eight or ten most meaningful Lewis ideas that have transformed his life. Ideas such as "what real joy is" and "the presence of God in everyday occurrences" and "the secret to recovery of child-like wonder" and "the startling relevance of Lewis to today" and "how believing in Christ makes the most sense."

"I enjoyed reading this wondrous book about C.S. Lewis. It is 'twice wondrous' because it is a pleasure not only to read Rich Latta's insights into C.S. Lewis's books, but to enjoy the feeling that comes when a writer opens his heart so warmly as Rich has done. I decided I want what Rich Latta has uncovered in the second half of his life: the enjoyment of a new start in seeing and feeling the wonder of God. This enjoyment is God Himself: "more of God!" Rich writes. It is also a heartfelt awakening to all that is wondrous in the world that God made. Thank you, Rich. You have given the reader a gift of awakened wonder, theirs and yours."
